Yup we take the same route home...I came by around 6:00 though. 4 cop cars were RIGHT in front of the Fayetteville exit.
I envied you 4x4 tonight :) I was "teaching" my younger brother how to "control your vehicle in a skid" ;) at the mall and in my excessive testosterone and pride for my truck doing so well, I purposely drove over a plow pile and LANDED in frozen snow on the other side. I won't count it as getting stuck since we did
manage to get it out on our own :)
I reallty am wishing I hada 4x4 though. I liked my Dak in TN partly because I could safely play around in it. I'm really going to get stuck here soon if I keep going like I am :)
Have a good day :)

Another goober was following too closely to the pack and swerved into the ditch to miss the mile long line-causing a second accident. Tripled the time it takes me to get home GRRRRRR!!!!!

But most people in the south Do not know how to drive in the snow or ice. and drive way to fast for the conditons. The driving during the snow and ice is diffrent down here then north of here.
